Self-aligning electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector adapted to receive a mating connector member is provided. The electrical connector includes an elastomeric base and a connector member supported on the elastomeric base, where the connector member is operable to mate with the mating connector. The elastomeric base is configured to allow the connector member to be resiliently displaced along substantially orthogonal x, y, and z axes in order to facilitate alignment between the connector member and the mating connector during their assembly.
